Theological Librarianship: Toward A Profile Of A Profession, Andrew J. Keck, Rashelle S. Karp Jan 1996

Theological Librarianship: Toward A Profile Of A Profession, Andrew J. Keck, Rashelle S. Karp

Faculty Publications

Theology touches almost everyone at one time or another. The librarians who maintain, preserve, and disseminate theological information are critical to the perpetuation of theological study and enlightenment. However, the literature of librarianship is strangely silent on the topic of theological librarianship and especially on issues that are unique to theological librarians--those who work with theologically or religiously focused collections or libraries that support the education and training of people preparing for the ministry.

Theses provide a convenient archival resource of student research.

Operations Research And Organizational Decision-Making In Academic Libraries, Therrin C. Dahlin Jan 1991

Operations Research And Organizational Decision-Making In Academic Libraries, Therrin C. Dahlin

Faculty Publications

Operations research entered the library scene in the 1960s and '70s, and has attracted much interest from librarians. This paper examines the assumptions made by selected operations researchers concerning organizational decision-making in academic libraries. The assumptions then are compared to Richard L. Daft's contingency framework of organizational decision-making to determine the appropriateness of applying operations research assumptions and methods to organizational decision-making in an academic library setting. A review of the operations researchers' assumptions and Daft's framework suggests that the operations research approach may be appropriately applied to only a relatively narrow category of problems in academic libraries that match …
